<p>This study investigated the relationship between family socioeconomic status (SES), coparenting and children’s behavior problems within a dyadic analytical framework among Chinese families with children aged 3 to 6 years.

摘要

This study investigated the relationship between family socioeconomic status (SES), coparenting and children’s behavior problems within a dyadic analytical framework among Chinese families with children aged 3 to 6 years. A sample of 283 parents completed standardized assessments including Family Socioeconomic Status Assessment, the Coparenting Scale, and the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire. The results indicated that family SES was negatively associated with children’s behavior problems. Fathers’ coparenting quality mediated the association between fathers’ SES and father-reported children’s behavior problems. Similarly, mothers’ coparenting quality mediated the association between mothers’ SES and mother-reported children’s behavior problems. The actor-partner interdependence mediation model (APIMeM) demonstrated that mothers’ coparenting mediated the association between mothers’ SES and mother-reported children’s behavior problems (actor effects). Additionally, mothers’ coparenting mediated the relationship between fathers’ SES and mother-reported children’s behavior problems (partner effects). Further, children’s gender significantly moderated the relationship between SES, coparenting and children’s behavior problems. These findings suggest that promoting positive coparenting interactions may serve as a protective mechanism mitigating behavioral risks associated with low SES in early childhood. This study also helps to clarify the dyadic interdependence of parental interactions within family systems.
